| I started my career at Swift Transportation...Here are a few Pics of 3of the Trucks I drove. The Red Classic, a 2001 was the one I trained in. It was a Lease Turn in that ended up becoming a Company truck. Later I drove a White one, but have no pics. The Columbia is a 2002, and the Volvo was an 2005. The Volvo was part of the first 1000 or so that Swift purchased when they switched to the VNL 660. | |||||||||||
